Can anyone tell me what frame i could use for a 67 chevelle convertable.

Pontiac Le-Mans was on the same chassis...and Buick Skylark. I'm pretty sure on those two.
What ever you do, if you are unable to get a rag top chassis...make sure you beef up the one you find. The roof was a major part of the structure, and if you get the wrong frame it'll feel like a wet noodle every time you hit the loud pedal.
I think I might have access to a '70 Chevelle convert chassis here in Ohio...how far you willin to travel for this project? (I'll have to talk to the guy...I haven't seen him in over a year)

El Camino and Monte Carlo will work too.

Check the wleelbases also. I think the 64-67 chevelle and all A bodys those years used a 115" wheelbase. 68 and later 2 doors used 112" and 4 doors, El caminos and montes used 116"
